Apparently I didn’t have any bank details on revenue cause I closed my old bank account so now I’ve been issued a cheque in the year of our lord 2026.

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

It’s in the Dáil record now, it’s a primary source for future historians

"It's not the same as Twitter", friend Twitter isn't the same as Twitter. Old Twitter died years ago, we need to accept that almost no-one under 30 is interested in joining text-based social media - the format will die with us, like floppy discs, Mars Delights, and the concept of hope for the future

My mental health can’t take pints going up in price again.

babybel implies the existence of scarybel, sportybel, gingerbel and poshbel

Did a yoga class today and came out feeling very zen. Got in the car and Numb/Encore came on Spotify and idk how but it worked.

I am going to write an addendum to The Abuse Factory gist with three quick things everyone can do. They really have an effect

Got to watch the greatest movie of all time again* *Intermission

Ohhhhh my god you hate Ireland? should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite Oliver Cromwell?

Well that was certainly a game of football.

Had a blood test done and my thyroid is fine which is good but my cholesterol is high got my age and my main thought is that I am too young and sexy to drink benecol.

In lighter news, Darren Fletcher wouldn't look out of place as a chisled detective who is haunted by that one case he couldn't solve.

Breaking: Women's Aid Ireland will no longer maintain a presence on X from tomorrow. @womensaidireland.bsky.social

Smacks of ‘we need to do something, this is something’ when the law is already on the books to deal with this.

I thought I looked like a children’s tv presenter but it’s been pointed out to me that I also look like a minion.

A lot of politicians have gone big on ‘we must protect children online’ and yet they’re still on X, with Grok that is creating CSAM on demand. Like fuck off.

complaining to tesco about asking for hard kiwis and getting soft kiwis because I am normal human

it is just so 🥴🥴🥴 to me that governments and law enforcement bodies across the world have to be begged and pleaded with to even consider investigating what is quite literally sexual crime on an unbelievable scale, taking place openly on one of the most popular digital platforms in the world.

This morning Rape Crisis Ireland has called for a ban on AI 'nudification' functions which can (and have) produced sexual images of children and adults. RCI: 'There seems to be no reason for the existence of "nudification" functionality on AI apps beyond exploitation...'

Football Weekly of all places used the term kidnapped instead of captured. Like a fucking football podcast is ahead of most media organisations. We live in the stupidest timelines

me to my friends: i'm going to try and complain about work less this year. also me: sends a 3 minute voice note complaining about work on the first work day of 2026.

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.

I hope this email finds you, and this email only has to be lucky once.

One for all of the mojito fiends out there.

Gonna need Ken Early in my feed ASAP @secondcaptains.bsky.social

Anyway nice of United to distract us from everything by continuing to be a complete clown car. God bless them.

Starting off the working year right by getting a smear that I didn’t know was due because I never got the letter because we moved. I’d only gone in to get my meds re prescribed and a blood test.

The EU: ‘We are going to monitor the shit out of this situation. The US will know it’s been monitored, that’s for damn sure.’

This is what they call the debs in Educate Together schools

Ask not for whom it circles back in January. It circles back for thee.

My dad with the heating on and the fire lit: it's not actually that cold.

Surely Amorim doesn't survive this

YOU SHELVED THE RED LIGHT CAMERA PLAN FOR DUBLIN ALREADY. ENFORCE THE LAWS WE HAVE.

I’ve tried to explain that there’s chilli in it and if she eats it, she will shit herself but no dice.

Think my favourite criticism I’ve seen of a book recently was someone on Reddit giving out that the DJ Carey book about all the fraud didn’t have enough about his underage hurling career. Like????

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean

“The history is checkered” is one hell of an understatement.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Not setting a goal this year but should you be interested, here’s what I’ve read in 2026.

it's time.

Dick Cheney would be loving this

Not a good day for the "we should join NATO" bros.

Dublin looking at North Kildare now like it’s a tasty snack.
